## Delegate focused reasoning

This example is a complete research coordinator with one private subagent. The
coordinator decides what to delegate, the researcher handles one focused
question, and the coordinator remains responsible for the final response.

A subagent is an ordinary agent folder with its own model configuration,
instructions, context, and durable session. Registering it inside
`coordinator.subagents` gives the parent internal tools to run, resume, and
inspect that child without exposing the child as a top-level application API.

The parent waits while the child runs, receives the child response as a tool
result, and continues automatically. Parent and child histories remain
separate and linked for inspection.
